The last 3 coupies all seem to be represented on gravestones in Forest Lawn

It would seem unlikely that Mary Ann
{BENNETT}
LEANEY and
Mary
{BENNETT}
ALLEN would be sisters, but they are presumabiy related,
as the same Robert
ALDERDICE witnesses: : both marriages.
It seems that Humphrey
BENNETT
son of widow Ellen was born 1825
and is much too young to witness the 1837 marriage.
That witness is more likely Humphrey
BENNETT (1804-1866) a well-to-do
shoemaker who emigrated from Ireland to Toronto and is buried with family
members in St. James AngIican Cemetery, Toronto.
